Free Jazz Jams in February in Budapest
Picture this: you’re wandering Budapest’s vibrant Holló utca after a day of exploring thermal baths and ruin bars, and you stumble into a lively jazz session where young talents riff off each other like it’s the most natural thing in the world. The LFZE Open Jam at Budapest Jazz Club offers exactly that—free Tuesday night jam sessions in February 2026 that let you soak up Hungary’s next generation of jazz stars right in the heart of the city.
Why Join the LFZE Open Jam?
These aren’t stuffy concerts; they’re spontaneous explosions of creativity from Liszt Ferenc Zeneművészeti Egyetem (LFZE) students, mostly fresh-faced 18-year-olds straight out of Bartók Konzi. Every Tuesday at 22:00, a different trio or quartet takes the stage, inviting musicians from the crowd to jump in for that raw, improvisational magic that makes live jazz so addictive. It’s a family-friendly vibe with friends and relatives cheering on, perfect for tourists craving an authentic, low-key night out in Budapest.
February 2026 Lineup Highlights
Kick off the month with Horváth Botond Trio on February 3, followed by Tóth Gergő Quartet on the 10th, Suke Sándor Trio on the 17th, and Horváth Szabolcs Trio wrapping up on the 24th. Each night guarantees high-energy jazz with a youthful twist, blending tradition and fresh ideas in one of Budapest’s coziest jazz hubs.
